To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER BARR AMMERs MAN, of Brooklyn, in the countyof Kings, and

in the State of New York, have invented a v certain new and useful Improvement in Rug Corner-Weights, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact de- V scription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention has been to provide a corner-weight for-holding down the corners of rugs which have a tendency to curl up, which corner weight shall have the advanta es of being thin, cheap and heavy; and

'"corner' weight er'einafter' specified' to sue ends 1n 7 corner weight consists in the Figure l ,is' a view of, a 113 corner-weight embed "11g my invention, a portion of the v p fabric eing broken awafy to show the plates 2ov a portion of the uninside'flFi 2 is a View 0 derside 0% a rug liayin my corner-weight at-. tachedthiereto; and 3 a section on line 3'-'3"of Fig.- 1:

manyrugs which are riot re ersib'le; such as tapestries, Brussels, velvets, eta,

' thereis a-Veryobje'ctionable tendency. of the j the rated cm the edge'a of .the piece A, and -an other edge paralle rug to curl up, especially at the corners.

For the purpose of preventing tl is Ipr'ovide a device consisting Of'pieCes'A and B of sheet inetaL- "These pieces are so formed that their general Outline. is that of a triangle The iec ,hasarall e l edges 0, andfa/ and it is a'stened wit 'the edge ct parallel to the end of the rug. In this manner the width only 3 ofr'the piece Alies in the direction of the length of the ruga 1:he piece B is fastened .to withone edgeparallel to butsepato the long sideofthe rug.

Time, in fact, the two metal vpieces form a large triangle fastened to the underside of the rug, and yet their width in the direction of the length of the rug is so short that they do not interfere with rolling the rug. As a con; venient means for fastening the metal pieces justment, I inclose the said pieces between pieces of cloth 0 and D and stitch entirely around each piece ofmetal so as to'confine it in its proper place. The pieces of cloth preferably extend beyond the metal so as to afford means for sewing the-corner-weight to the rug.

It will be observed that my corner-weight r is thin so that it makes the least possible lump under the rug. It is also che ap, and

while it is thin, I have found by experience that it has ample'weight toaccomplish its purpose. a J

It is obvious that various changes can be made in the above illustrated construction which will be within the scope of my invention, and I desire not to be limited beyond the terms of my claims and the requirements of the prior art.

I claim: p I

A corner weight for ru s, consisting of a substantially triangular'c oth casing, and a plurality of metal strips sewed into said casing, said strips having edges parallel, with one of the shorter sides of the casing.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I I have hereunto set my hand.
